Roo Stewart (Georgie Parker) will indeed reach the heartbreaking realization of the true extent of Eliza’s (Martha Kate Morgan) deeply disturbing problems and make the agonizing decision to send her away for professional help.

Here’s a recap of the sad events leading to that decision:

• Eliza’s Disturbing Actions Escalate: Roo has been trying to protect and understand Eliza, but the young girl’s behavior takes a dark turn, including threatening Marilyn, filming Harper’s traumatic labor, and most shockingly, deliberately withholding Alf’s vital heart medication.
• The Chilling Confession: Roo’s fears are confirmed when she finds damning evidence in Eliza’s music box. Confronted with the truth, Eliza confesses to her dangerous actions, including admitting she might have wanted Alf to die, and reveals that her previous stories about the “souvenirs” were lies.
• Heartbreaking Decision: Realizing that Eliza’s issues are far beyond what she can handle and pose a serious risk, Roo is left with no choice but to report her findings to the department. It’s then decided that Eliza requires specialized psychiatric help and will be removed from Roo’s care and institutionalized.
• A Painful Goodbye: The farewell scene is particularly heartbreaking for Roo. Despite all her efforts and love for Eliza, Eliza lashes out in bitterness, telling Roo she’s “the worst foster carer she’s ever had.” This cruel remark leaves Roo utterly crushed, highlighting the tragic end to her hopes of helping the troubled teen.

It’s a very emotional and difficult departure for Roo, as she truly wanted to make a difference in Eliza’s life.
